Obama defends Iran deal, tells Israelis if anybody messes with you USA will be there
Jerusalem Post ^ | 04/06/2015

Posted on 04/06/2015 5:28:26 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

In New York Times interview, Obama says it has been "personally difficult" for him to hear expressions that his administration has not done everything it could to look out for Israel’s interest.

American would stand by Israel if it’s attacked by any state, including Iran, US President Barack Obama pledged in an extensive 46 minutes interview with The New York Times in which he advocated for the new framework deal to curb Tehran’s nuclear program.

“What we will be doing even as we enter this deal, is sending a clear message to the Iranians and to the entire region that if anyone messes with Israel, America will be there,” Obama told The New York Times reporter Thomas Friedman.

His interview with Obama, which was taped on Saturday and published on Sunday, was unusual both in its digital format and length.

It gave Obama an extended forum to defend the framework deal, which was agreed upon last week by Iran and the six world powers, including the US. A binding document will only be finalized in June.

In a calm and measured voice Obama explained that this deal was the best diplomatic option to halt Iran’s nuclear threat. It would, he said, provide an almost foolproof monitoring system to ensure that Tehran did not produce any nuclear weapons for at least 20 years.

“I have been very clear that Iran will not get a nuclear weapon on my watch,” Obama said. “They should understand that we mean it.”

Yeah and what in the hell does that mean?

Whatever one would interpret it to mean; no matter how much this guy gets away with he'll never be the equal of Clinton when it comes to lying. He makes up for it though with just sheer brazenness.

0bama is stickin' up for Israel as heartily as he is stickin' up for us.

In other words, Israel is screwed and on their own.

And we, I’m including Israel in this, is suppose to believe this “LIAR IN CHIEF”? Every thing this man has ever said has been proven to be all lies. Pick out anything he has said about everything. IT HAS TURNED OUT TO BE LIES.

JP are mostly just warmed over NYT articles.
Getting something like Fox News in Israel would make a big change on how Israel views Conservative Americans.

Israel should worry, because you can’t believe Muslims as they always lie when it suits their purposes.

How can it be that he hears these expressions, yet only finds out about major events by watching the TV news? The TV news does not cover these expressions of doubt about Obama’s concern for Israel.

Let put it this way, plain & simple. If there is any Jew in Israel or the USA that believes one word Obama utters, then they are insane, or high on drugs!!! If there is one Christian in the USA or around the world that believes one word that Obama utters, then they are either insane or high on drugs!!!

Obama being interviewed by that liberal human vermin, Thomas Friedman, is simply a joke!!! And......if any of you Christians out there fell for the “Obama” church attendance on “Easter Sunday” you are living in LaLa land. Obama hates both Jews and Christians......Why? Obama is a devout Muslim.....end of story!!!
